I just thought I would post this quote!

Multi grain bread concern
I bought a loaf of multigrain bread, thinking on the rare occasions I bother to have bread, I would make it a more wholesome and smarter choice. I go with the 12 grain so I know its mostly fiber and good for me. Well I got into it today to make a grilled cheese sandwich and it reeked. Smelled like nail polish remover. I…

Of course I adjust throughout the day if things change, but I find that having a plan organizes my day and helps to keep me on track. And I dont find an excuse NOT…
